IMRO - Bulgarian National Movement

The IMRO - Bulgarian National Movement (IMRO-BNM) is a national conservative political party in Bulgaria that was founded in 1991 as a cultural organization and refounded in 1999 as a political party. The IMRO-BNM claimed to be the successor of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO) movement, and the party described itself as a conservative and patriotic party based on modern nationalism. The party was strongly Orthodox Christian, and it opposed minority rights (especially those of Turks and Roma) and favored the creation of a "Greater Bulgaria" that would include Macedonia. The party became a minor political party in the country.
